UNION CITY, MI (WTVB) – Alternatives of Battle Creek and Beginnings Care for Life Center in Coldwater will be receiving some additional financial support over the next six months from Lighthouse Funeral and Creamation of Union City.
Owner and manager Tate Goodwin has pledged to match the first $20 of any donation $20 or greater, up to $10,000, made to Alternatives or Beginnings Care for Life Center from now until August 31, 2021.
“I wanted to do something especially life-affirming in 2021 to celebrate my 20th year of working in the funeral business,” Goodwin said, “and I wanted it to benefit both the Branch County and Calhoun County communities, where many of our client families live.”
Both Alternatives and Beginnings Care serve as first stops for people who are facing pregnancy issues.
“My wife and I have always been very family-oriented and our business is committed to meeting multiple needs of the families in our service areas,” Goodwin said. “Helping ensure the availability of important family-focused resources like those offered through Alternatives and Beginnings Care is one more way we can support local families.”
In addition to his Branch County-based funeral home in Union City, Goodwin has event centers in Tekonsha and Athens. Those sites are frequently used for family celebrations as well as memorials.
Donations to Alternatives of Battle Creek or Beginnings Care for Life Center may be mailed to Lighthouse Funeral & Cremation, PO Box 161, Union City, MI 49094. Checks should be made payable to the respective organizations. At the end of each month, Lighthouse will give the donations and matching amounts to Alternatives and Beginnings Care.
Please call Lighthouse at (517)741-4555 with any questions about the matching donations program.
